Chocolate Rain: The Meaning

The truth behind the words

Chocolate Rain: The Meaining

"...some stay dry and others feel the pain..."
some races are immune to injustices while Black seem to be the target of unfair treatment

"...a baby born will die before the sin..."
these injustices will, most likely, exist for a very long time; even after the lifespan of a newborn baby has ended

"...the school books say 'it can't be here again'..."
institutionalized education promulgates racial equality

"...the prisons make you wonder where it went..."
with countless, innocent Blacks unjustly incarcerated, where is racial equality?

"...forecast to be falling yesterday..."
some people admit and acknowledge that injustices happened in the past, but insist that those "rainy" days do not exist now

"...'only in the past' is what they say..."
some people say that racism and unfairness against Blacks only exist in history

"...build a tent and say 'the world is dry'..."
you can shelter yourself from racism and pretend it does not exist; head-in-the-sand syndrome

"...zoom the camera out and see the lie..."
but when you consider the racial facts of the world as a whole, you will see all the propaganda

"...made me cross the street the other day..."
the protagonist avoids situations which will incite racists into their heinous acts

"...made you turn your head the other way..."
because some people tend to ignore the crimes that racists commit against innocent Blacks

"...raised your neighborhood insurance rates..."
geographic racial composition is a leading factor that results in higher premiums for some people

"...makes us happy livin' in a gate..."
some Blacks prefer living in segregated communities over living with abusive racists and economical gouging

"...every February washed away..."
racial injustices seem to nullify the progress Blacks have made; as observed during February

"...stays behind as colors celebrate..."
racism seems to fall away when Blacks and other people of color commemorate their own achievements

"...the same crime has a higher price to pay..."
corrupt judicial systems slant in favor of a certain race of people

"...the judge and jury swear it's not the face..."
even though the court system claims equal, blind justice for all despite race

"...across the world and back it's all the same..."
racism against Blacks can be found the world over

"...angels cry and shake their heads in shame..."
innocent people are offended and disgusted by supremists who perpetuate racism against Blacks

"...lifts the ark of paradise in sin..."
America was built and still profits from the constant exploitation of Blacks

"...which part do you think you're livin' in?..."
the protagonist asks what role do you play in racial injustice; perpetrator, passivist, or victim

"...history quickly crashing through your veins..."
Blacks and Whites alike are the products of their ancestral legacy which is instilled in both races alike

Wow! There's a discussion about racism on youtube that hasn't become a flame war. Congratulations!

[faf dub]

I admire his point of view Of the song,but there's one thing not only whites are/were racist towards blacks , not all races are 100% racist . All races have suffered racsim (e.g. Chinese back in..about 200-100 in B.C. ,Canada and places close to there were hated and wanted out..Just like Blacks in some parts of the Americas , some people portrayed the U.S the most racest place on earth,Well Idk ,that's their opinion. All I'm saying is that ALL races have suffered from racism,minor or not.

[shipmillwood1]

We blacks are known as ReptillianHumanBreeders..We made all you people think that we were the ones getting slaved and thrown about.. But it was actually you getting controlled by us acting weak. MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHA

[striveonuntiringly]

"A baby born will die before the sin" could be that a baby could be hated from birth (based on color) before it even had a chance to do wrong.

[Theodore Jones]

Wow... That is deep

[Jay Stuart]

Tay has said it's not important to him that people know what the song's about, but rather, he's glad people are ASKING the question. (source: "Youtubers Respond" video on Chocolate Rain, with Tay as a guest - watch?v=JG_mizslC1U).

HOWEVER, the meaning is clear. Thank you for nailing it.

VERY nice remix, by the way.

[Titanicgamerdude]

One day I hope everyone gets judged be by their actions, not their race.

[belaldarkness]

In Palestine , most people come from Mideastern white , to tan , some are white or Black , most of People are Sunni Muslims , there are Atheists ,Christians ,Samaritan Jews , and Shia Muslims , in total people are different , there is a son of Israeli General who cam to my city and was welcomed , due to his Family he knows exactly what we suffer , he published a book about it "The General's Son"

in general do americans think that we "Palestinians" are racists?

[donsarasa5]

the background music couldnt be worst for someting that is intended to be read

[QuoteCaveStory]

Black people and white people are all the same. Why do people have to fight with each other based on appearance alone? It's stupid and cruel.

[katy kat]

I 100% agree. Everyone just assumes slavery and racism is only from black people, when thats not true. Im not saying blacks didn't suffer racism and slavery, but so did every other race. White people were enslaved by the Egyptians, black people by the whites and so on. Everyone has been through some form of racism.

[XEpicGodX]

It's a miracle!
